Words you haven't heard in a long time...?

[Cranky]

Panacea is one that I haven't heard in a while until tonight on a radio show. These days I hear all kinds of new words that I never heard before and wonder where in a heck did they get them from!

A few words…..you’ve paid too much in taxes, we are sorry and here’s your money back with 100% interest that’s been compounded daily for the last 25 years!

Three times in one night?

Three times in one night?

Are you talking about when you had to replace your power steering pump three times?

"Remains".
As in human.
Have ya noticed when it's a person of good repute, that they are still talked about in the present tense?
Example: "President Regan is to be interred at Arlington."
Or loved.
"Michael Jackson is to be buried at Rose Lawn."
But if the person is considered evil it's just a thing.
A "body".
Example :
APR 15, 2021

Why Did US Forces Bury Osama Bin Laden’s Body at Sea?​

Political, religious and practical factors all played a role.

(Of course I'm referring to The Media)

Fallow. As in fallow fields. This came up a few weeks ago because our son had never heard it before and asked if we knew what it meant. We 'splained it.
Also " Supercalifragilisticxpalidoshious."

Panacea? Don’t think I’ve ever heard that word before…until now. Is that why you changed your name to “Mr. Cranky” recently? It’s your teacher name? Lol

A word we haven’t used in our house in at least ten years…”telephone”
